@viralsanctuary_: The House just slammed the brakes on the Hegseth impeachment push. On Tuesday, the House voted 211-204 to send Rep. Thomas Massie's eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to the Judiciary Committee, blocking an immediate floor vote on impeachment. The referral passed with 210 Republicans and 1 independent in favor. Against it: 203 Democrats and Massie himself, the only Republican to vote no. Massie refiled the articles on Monday. They allege misconduct tied to the Iran war and the Caribbean boat strikes. Those are allegations, not findings, and Hegseth has called the articles a sham. President Trump celebrated the vote the same afternoon, calling it an "EXONERATION of a Great American Patriot." Our take: a referral is not an acquittal. The articles are not dead, they now sit with the Judiciary Committee, which can sit on them, investigate them or send them back to the floor. Trump is claiming total victory, but procedurally this is a pause, not a verdict, and Massie has already shown he will refile rather than go away. Does this end the impeachment fight, or does it come back bigger?
